MS Medical Assistance Fund
Donation protected
Mike and Jennifer have been battling Jennifer's Multiple Sclerosis together for the last three years. Diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis 15 yrs ago, Jennifer fought the disease valiantly. Three years ago, her disease became aggressive causing her to have hundreds of lesions develop on her brain, brain stem and spinal cord. She has lost her ability to feel in her hands, cannot walk without assistance of a walker and often is wheelchair bound.
The progression of her disease has caused both Mike and Jennifer to have high monthly medical bills, prescription costs, lost wages in the hundreds each month. She was approved to take Ocrevus to attempt to stop the progression to Progressive MS, however, the medicine is expensive, not covered by their insurance and will require additional time away from work for both of them at no pay.
We are asking you to assist them with their monthly medical costs so they can continue with her treatments and reduce the anxiety and stress that is so antagonizing to MS patients. It is urgent these funds are raised as she begins her treatment October 31st and it is anticipated they both will need several days off for her treatment and recovery. Additionally, these funds will be used to lesson the financial toll they currently are in due to the past treatment and medical costs incurred thus far.
For all who donates a minimum of $50, Mike will hand-carve a commemorative wood pendent as a token of their gratitude in assisting them reach their goal.
Thank you all!
